On Bengali WP, Category:Years still has "0" and "1":
There's some other odd things about that category that may be happening because they're using leading 0s in sortkeys: 0922 etc. Hopefully it'll look less weird when that fix goes out. Still, 0 and 1 aren't right.
On bn.wikisource, there's 0-9 as a heading, rather than the Bengali numbers ০-৯ :

@Bodhisattwa, @DannyH: Most of these issues are due to the fact that Bengali is not supported by MediaWiki's language-specific collations, thus we had to switch Bengali Wikipedia and Wikisource to the gereric numeric sorting, which isn't aware of Bengali numerals. To fix these problems, we will need to add support for Bengali to the IcuCollation class, switch the Bengali wikis from numeric to uca-bn-u-kn collation, and regenerate their sort keys.

@Bodhisattwa: We now have two solutions to offer you:
Which of these would you prefer? Personally, I would recommend the UCA collation as it should keep you from having to use custom DEFAULTSORT keys in more cases, but if you're happy with the existing sorting, you're welcome to keep it.
@Bodhisattwa: Looks like those may still be a problem. See T148885#2798077. I guess we'll just stick with numeric collation for now.
After the new code is deployed to the Bengali wikis next week, we'll rerun the updateCollation script which should fix the problem.
